Yeah, but the filenames don't! THAT'S the killer feature I'm hoping for: filename passthrough. I last tried this in January with then then newest firmware and it didn't work; filename matching will make this thing killer.

Thanks! And yeah the blackmagic box is a little overpriced, but seems popular for it's simplicity. I used to have a massive eGPU back in 2012, 3x NVIDIA cards, it was great, from Cubix, the custom solutions are way cheaper.
